I have known Marty in a Business Relationship but considered him a Friend and College. There are many who I have interacted with in the industry BUT Marty was one of the FEW who not just made you feel like meeting your needs was personal to him he also was someone who if he did not know the answer was not afraid to say so and would find out. He also was a man of his word and I never doubted him. He was one of the few who I never had to call and check up on him to insure that my order was being addressed. Working with him gave me great confidence and one less thing I had to worry about. I do not know that I ever got the wrong parts from him and that they were not available when he said they would be. I Trusted him and he Never gave me cause to not Trust him. I will miss his smile and our conversations. A hole has been made that will most likely never be filled. If who he was at work is any indication of who he was away from work I can only imagine the sense of LOSS to those he did life with. To those who did life with I am deeply sorry for your LOSS.
Sincerely
Russell T McHatton
